  1. Cacti-fying a little Voldemort cluster out on EC2.
  2. Stubbed my toe in a big way playing on bouncy castles with the kids yesterday but didn't notice then. Frozen peas are my new best friend.
  3. Explained "symmetric" to my 4yo daughter. "You have a cement truck face because your eyes match." Uh, yeah...
  4. Lunch today consists entirely of *food* — cherries, english peas, tomatoes, radishes, cheese, bread.
  5. @stevedekorte I think I understand that link, but what does the incoherent lady have to do with that talented cat? (http://bit.ly/3cE026)
  6. Fun technology day yesterday — Dynomite (Erlang, Thrift, Ruby, Java), Voldemort (Java), SOLR, Merb, EC2 — need a "waffer thin" technology...
  7. RT @ZUrlocker: Good leaders take responsibility. << Leadership is binary, not ternary — it's win|lose not win|lose|excuse.
  8. @alexiszany If you hit the little gear on the pop-up, there's a way to turn off the preview pop-ups for all sites forever.
  9. @benjaminblack Agree. Sometimes complexity comes from excess specificity.
  10. RT @programmingjoy: GHC Haskell on the iPhone : here it is! #programming http://bit.ly/JG2ns
  11. New VLC (http://is.gd/1qoyo) works great with AVCHD. Finally.
  12. Found a grasshopper in the arugula this morning while making lunch. The kids will be stoked... Wonder if (s)he tastes like arugula...?
  13. IMHO, #nosql is about indexing, redundancy, and propagation as utilities in their own right, not about query languages per se.
  14. Happily eavesdropping on #nosql. Some of the debate is simply about generalized tools (SQL dbms) versus purpose-built storage.
  15. Surprised to see that @authorizenet get knocked-out with one punch (http://bit.ly/2lBRb7). It pays to have back-up processors at the ready.
  16. @steveshu Yeah, but the FiveSight meishi-money didn't pay interest...
  17. @rossmason IMHO, the only reason to categorically dismiss ESBs (or WS-* or REST or tech X) is because you sell something else...
  18. @bobmcwhirter Nice. I can't see your beer in that picture...
  19. @ghalimi Good reminder on photographing the airport parking location. I do the same with my rental car license plate and hotel room...
  20. @bwooce Agree on hosted vs. EC-2. Would probably be fine on $20/mo @linode (where I host other services). Surprised that EC2 was 3x the $.
